Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Youth Congress (JKPYC) today held here protest demonstrations against NDA government for failure on all the fronts and police detained dozens of them.
JKPYC said that alienation among young generation is increasing with each passing day due to wrong policies of NDA government.
Led by JKPYC Chief Pranav Shagotra, over 200 activists today took out procession against BJP-led NDA government for its "failure on all fronts".
As soon as the PYC activists marched towards Dogra Chowk from Press club area, they were stopped by the police, who were deployed in huge number to stop them.
Police detained dozen of activists and later let them off.
Shagotra said that woes of the common masses are compounding with every passing day due to misdeeds of the NDA government.
He recalled that NDA government had promised to solve problems of the border residents by providing them shelter at alternative places but the same promise remained only on papers.
He also expressed concern over the increase of ceasefire violation across the border during the last two years and said that Modi government has failed to deal the situation in a befitting manner.
"In a democratic system like ours,BJP-led NDA government is trying to gag dissent voice by adopting oppressive means," he said.
